Izzy is a confused wreck. Every friendship she has swirls with drama, leaving her emotionally and physically exhausted. But why all the drama? Is it because Izzy is too judgy? Too sassy? Or is she simply misunderstood? As the bonds in her friendships continue to fray, Izzy seeks support and guidance from her loyal sister, Maya. With empathy and understanding, Maya offers encouragement as she helps her sister confront some hard truths: Izzy is an interrupter, a one-upper, and a bragger. Caught unaware of how she speaks toward her friends, Izzy is determined to make amends and do better. Now, she just needs to figure out how. "Why Is Drama Always Following Me?" is a fast-paced chapter book that examines the social minefield of middle school friendships, particularly among girls. As Izzy works to repair her relationships, young readers will be inspired to think about and improve how they speak to and communicate with their friends and family.--Publisher.
